Dr. Gregory Skomal, marine biologist and shark expert, Kicks Off Science@Work Lecture Series at Tabor Academy on December 11

Dr. Gregory Skomal, an accomplished marine biologist, underwater explorer, photographer, and author, will kick off the Tabor Academy Science@Work Lecture Series for this year on December 11 at 6:30 PM.

For more than 30 years, Skomal has been actively involved in the study of life history, ecology, and physiology of sharks. Much of his current research centers on the use of acoustic telemetry and satellite-based tagging technology to study the ecology and behavior of white sharks.

Interest is high in our area as more sharks have been seen in and around the Cape and the Islands. Come learn more about these amazing creatures and why their numbers seem to be growing in this area.

The lecture is free and open to the public and will take place in the Fireman Center for the Performing Arts at 235 Front Street, Marion, at 6:30PM.
